The Versatile Murphy Bed
A Murphy bed, also known as a wall bed, or fold-away bed is a bed that flips up for vertical storage inside a closet or cabinet. A Murphy Bed is ideal for the guest bedroom, or for smaller bedrooms that have limited floor space because they take up so little space when folded against the wall. Murphy Beds come with special spring or piston mechanisms that handle most of the weight of the bed so the average person can lift the bed into the vertical position with very little effort. These lift mechanisms are a bit pricey but when building a wall bed, you don't want to skimp on the hardware.
Manufacturers of Murphy Bed lift mechanisms typically provide a generic set of bed plans as part of the package. You then customize these plans to fit the decor of your home. For example, you can choose specific woods, finishes and molding to match existing woodwork for a truly built-in look. Or you might want to surround the bed with matching bookshelves or storage cabinets. The possibilities are endless!
